Rather than a finished work, this photograph records a small-scale model of a heroic Jefferson figure, the kind of study a sculptor makes so a commission can be judged before the full-size version is carved or cast. Its subject is Thomas Jefferson, and the Thomas Jefferson Memorial on the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C., is the setting the record names. The model's date of about 1955 places it in the decade when many public sculptors were still working in the classical, idealized style used for presidential monuments. The photograph is useful for seeing how a sculptor planned the figure's pose and proportions before enlargement.
